Even if it wasn't intentional, he should have apologized immediately if he had hit the opponent in two consecutive games.
The starting pitcher, who had been pitching scorelessly, jumped into the fire pit of bench clearing. It was never supposed to happen.
The bench clearing between the Lotte Giants and the Samsung Lions at Daegu Lions Park on the 29th was complicated in many ways.
First of all, in the second game of the Busan doubleheader on the 17th, Choi Won-tae's fastball hit Jeon Jun-woo's left shoulder. Lotte was forced to be sensitive to repeated dunes throughout the series. This is why captain Jeon Jun-woo warned Choi Won-tae.
Choi Won-tae was also frustrated. In the third inning of the game, he had to come down the mound due to bruising after being hit by Jung Hoon's training ball, and was even excluded from the first team in the aftermath of the injury.
On the next day, Yang Chang-seop's threatening ball and even head coach Kim Tae-hyung's large bench clearing exploded. Samsung lost all three games that weekend.
He met again after 12 days. Samsung starter Choi Won-tae's 146km pitching hit Lotte's Jeon Jun-woo's elbow. In response to Jeon Jun-woo's reaction, Choi Won-tae raised his arms with the meaning of 'It's not intentional'.

| When Jeon Jun-woo complained that it was his second time, Choi Won-tae confronted him with open arms. |
|
If I had apologized here, it would have been over. However, Choi Won-tae continued to appeal his unfairness, and Jeon Joon-woo, who became emotional, headed to the mound. This is the first bench clearing.
Fortunately, Kang Min-ho quickly stopped Jeon Joon-woo and soothed him, and the players of both teams on the ground also seemed to prevent the spread.

The situation seemed to have settled. Jeon Jun-woo walked out to first base. However, Choi Won-tae stimulated Jeon Jun-woo with a furious gesture again. Jeon Joon-woo ran to the mound and Koo Ja-wook blocked it, causing a second bench clearance.
This time, the emotions of Lotte players also heated up. Several players were seen venting their anger over Choi Won-tae's actions.

Among those players was Park Se-woong. I also glared at Choi Won-tae right next to Jeon Joon-woo, the party to the dune. Park Se-woong, who could not understand Choi Won-tae's behavior, forgot the position of 'starting pitcher' and ran to the ground.
Bench-clearing literally means that every player runs off the bench. Even the pitchers in the bullpen area run out. If there is a player who sits on the sidelines as if he or she is not watching someone else's house on the bench, he or she will be pointed out.
However, there are exceptions to unwritten rules. Starting pitchers on the day and the day after should be restrained. This is because even if you get caught up in a fight, it will cause tremendous losses to the team. This is a very common-sense reason.
Park Se-woong also did not run out when the first bench clearing occurred. However, when the collision recurred, he kicked out of the dugout.

Without the efforts of Samsung Kang Min-ho and Koo Ja-wook on this day, a really big conflict would have occurred. Park Se-woong, who ran to the ground, also did not experience any physical conflict. Choi Won-tae eventually bowed his head to Jeon Joon-woo and apologized.
Nevertheless, Park's pitching was different before and after. Park Se-woong, who pitched scoreless by throwing only 60 pitches until the fourth inning, allowed four runs after wasting as many as 35 pitches in the fifth inning alone.
Park Se-woong also took the mound in the sixth inning, but was replaced at second and third bases with one out. He became a losing pitcher with six runs (five earned) in five ⅓ innings.

Park Se-woong has been running tirelessly since the opening of the season. Park Se-woong pitched 1,209 pitches this season, ranking first in the number of pitches, beating Ponce (1206) of the Hanwha Eagles. He is also the No. 1 pitcher in Korea with 72 ⅔ innings.
It's a time of exhaustion. It cannot be asserted that the behavior of kicking out the dugout influenced the pitch. However, the action involved in bench clearing was dangerous, regardless of the outcome.
Of course, I can only understand that mind.
